Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) building a fort for war

Here the guys prepare a wooden fort, well one wall, you can see the archers standing about on top of the ridge, waiting to shoot rubber head arrows into hot sweaty armoured troops who are currently resting while their opponents are fixing the fort.

Here Mordenvale is fighting the next shire, down from the North for a friendly war weekend.

36 degree (97 fahr) and steel armour does not do the body good, now add to that the guys camp out for the entire weekend and you end up with some stinky amour in short time.
